This webinar will cover the state of the world’s climate, what governments need to do, what advocates need to do, and what the church needs to do, with plenty of time for Q&A. Ben Niblett is the coordinator of the Renew Our World campaign and before that led Tearfund UK’s campaigns team for 10 years.
He’s won and lost campaigns on climate, and won some on transparency and corruption, WASH, aid and debt.

This webinar will consider how to seek funds for climate advocacy, the pros and cons of big grants for this work, and how to get government donors to invest more in this work. Tineke Harris and Joanne Green from Tearfund will share their insights based on their experience of securing two big grants from the Norwegian and UK governments for plastic waste projects, combining advocacy and programmatic work. There will be plenty of time for questions and discussion.
